Find a github opensource project that you need to contribute.

Fork that repo
clone the forked repo
create a branch and do the changes
Push it
Now file a PR against your upstream(orginal repo)

We are almost there for Hacktoberfest: hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/
So take a look at repos with #hacktoberfest label, also #good-first-issue labels.

If you are having problems finding repos/issues, take a look at codetriage.com/ that solves that problem for you :)

Finally, good luck on your first contributions!
